Pupils and teachers

[Guest guest]

The difficulty in the spiritual path is always what comes

from ourselves. A person does not like to be a pupil, he

likes to be a teacher. If one only knew that the greatness

and perfection of the great ones who have come from

time to time to this world was in their being pupils and

not in teaching! The greater the teacher, the better pupil

he was. He learned from everyone, the great and the

lowly, the wise and the foolish, the old and the young.

He learned from their lives, and studied human nature

in all its aspects.
